How Night Protocol works
Plain answers about the site. This page is built from the same list we use to track every feature, so it changes when the site changes.
Getting started
Night Protocol is a map of people. You see members near you, watch their clips, and set times to meet.
Everyone here is 18 or older. You confirm your age when you join.
To join, tap JOIN. You confirm you are 18 or older, enter your email and the code we send you, then pick a password and a handle. You start in one community with a role; join more in Profile › Main › Communities.
Your handle is the name other members see, like @name.
Open the site
Go to night-protocol.com. The map loads on its own.
Create an account
Tap JOIN. Confirm you are 18 or older, then enter your email, the code we email you, a password and a handle.
Your handle and first community
When you join you pick a handle. You start in one community with a role: the one whose site you came from, or Mass Collab Media as a Fan. Join more in Profile › Main › Communities.
Sign in
Tap LOG IN and enter your email and password.
Forgot your password
On the sign-in sheet, tap Forgot. Enter your email, the code we send, and a new password.
Stay signed in
The site keeps your session going in the background, so you don't have to sign in each time.
If your session ends
If you see “Your session ended”, sign in again to continue.
Communities and roles
Members join communities on the platform. You can join more than one.
In each community you pick a role. Your role shapes who you see and who sees you.
You can only find and contact people you share a community with.
Join from a community site
Each community has its own site. If you join from one, that community and your role are picked for you.
See the roles you are looking for
On the map, you see yourself and the roles your role looks for, in the community and role you are acting as: the lit chip in Your role. Tap another chip and the map follows at once.
Switch your role and community
You act as one community and one role at a time. Your role is the row of chips at the top, one for each community you hold, for example MCM · Creator; the lit chip is the one you are acting as. Tap another chip to switch. Your map, Play, Schedule and Home follow. If a chip says choose, tap it and pick your role there.
Everything you see is for the role you are acting as, so you always know who you are showing up as.
Privacy: Switching only changes what you look at. It never changes who can see you. To hide in a community, go dark there.
Roles with requirements
Some roles need a few details from you first, for example your gender, or Age Verification. Until you add them the role is pending: Your role shows how many are missing, in pink (for example TBL 3 details, or MCM verify for Age Verification), and Profile › Main › Communities › Details › Required details lists exactly what is missing. Pick each one and the role turns on.
You pick a role to meet a certain kind of person, so the details that define that role come with it.
Privacy: Required details are shown to that community while you hold the role, and they can't be changed or hidden until you change your role. Nobody in that role sees you while it is pending. A member who doesn't match their role can be reported.
Your communities
Profile › Main › Communities lists every community. Join a new one by tapping Join and picking your role. For one you joined, tap the role to change it.
Privacy: Going dark and leaving a community are in Profile › Main › Communities.
Go dark in one community
In Profile › Main › Communities, each community you joined has a line with its name and your role. Tap On to go dark there. Tap Dark to come back. Your map follows at once.
Sometimes you want a break from one community without leaving it or losing what you set up there.
Privacy: While a community is dark, nobody there can see your pin, Openings or Requests, assistants won't match you there, and you won't be shown as watching anyone's clips there. It is paused for you too: your map and searches skip it. Your role and details there are kept and come back when you turn it on. One community always stays on; to hide from everyone, use the eye on the Map.
Leave a community
In Profile › Main › Communities, tap Leave next to a community, then confirm. Your role there ends and nobody there can see or find you. Your details are kept, so if you join again with that role they come back.
Privacy: You can't leave your last community. To leave everything, delete your account.
Change your role
In Profile › Main › Communities, tap the role next to a community and pick another. Details are kept per role.
Your details are kept separately for each role. Your old set is kept.
Your Home
Your Home is what you see when all four panels are off.
Top to bottom: your @handle, your link, a line for short messages, the Opening circle, Requests, your points this month, and the details of the role you are acting as.
The four panels
Map, Play, Schedule and Profile in the header each turn a panel on or off. One panel fills the screen. Two sit side by side, or one above the other on a phone. Three or four share the screen.
Turn all four off to see your Home. Your choice is saved on this device.
Your @handle
The top of your Home shows your handle. It is the name members see.
QR code
Tap the QR icon next to your link to show it as a QR code. Close it with X or a tap outside.
Send your link
Tap the send icon to copy your link. On a phone it also opens the share sheet.
Privacy: Your link is night-protocol.com/<your handle>. It never shows a private community name.
Short messages
Short messages show under your link, like “Link copied” or “Added to your schedule”.
Notices from our team
When we review your Age Verification or a clip, a short notice shows once on Notice under your handle.
Open for 2 hours
Tap the circle to be open from now for 2 hours, for your role's first pairing. To change the pairing or the length, tap Pairing or Length on the Opening's row in Schedule. Tap a time to change it. Tap End to close it.
Privacy: Your Opening is never shown on the map. Others see only its time and how far away it is, as a band like 2–5 mi.
Openings that match yours
When someone whose role and purpose fit yours is open near you, Home shows them. Tap Send a Request to ask to meet; they answer Yes or No.
Privacy: They see how far away you are as a band, like 2–5 mi, never your exact spot.
Answer Requests in one tap
Requests that fit your Opening show as one sentence with Yes and No. Yes adds the meeting to both schedules. No passes on it.
Your points
Your Home shows your points for this month in three boxes: Burned (points used watching), Balance (your balance) and Referrals. Tap a box to open it.
Burned lists the clips you watched. Balance lists every points change, newest first. When you have fewer than 100 points you see a warning, and Top up opens the points page with $5 picked. Creators also see Watching now on Home: each person by handle who is watching one of their clips right now (in the last minute), and a dot when they are watching now.
Privacy: People you blocked or marked not interested, and people who did that to you, are never named or counted. Everyone else who joined through your link is shown by their handle in a community you share. Only you see who joined through your link.
The map
The map shows members near you who share a community with you.
Your pin is where others see you. You place it, and you can hide it at any time.
Members on the map may see the exact spot where you put your pin.
Tap a pin to see that person's photos too: Photos opens from the pin when they have any. Tap a photo to see it whole, and tap it again to make it small. Tap the map to close it.
See who is near you
The map shows members near you who share a community with you. Pan or zoom to see more. A line at the top right says which communities and roles you are seeing.
Pins that play
The pins closest to the middle of the map play a moment of that person's clip.
Open someone's pin
Tap a pin to open that person and watch their clips.
Map tools
Three buttons sit in the top-left corner of the Map panel: the eye (show or hide your pin), location, and the hand (place your pin).
Your own pin
Your pin shows where you left it each time you open the map.
Place your pin by hand
In the Map panel, tap the hand, then tap the map where you want your pin.
Privacy: Members on the map may see the exact spot you choose.
Put your pin where you are
In the Map panel, tap the location button and allow location. Your pin moves to where you are.
Hide yourself
In the Map panel, tap the eye to hide your pin. Tap it again to show it.
Privacy: While hidden, others don't see your pin.
Same pin on every device
Your pin follows you when you sign in on another device.
See one roster on the map
Tap the map button on a roster to see only those people. Tap it again to leave.
Play
Play shows clips. Tap a pin on the map to watch that person's clips.
Watching uses points by the second. A regular clip uses 1 point per second for each creator in it; a premium clip uses 3 points per second for each creator.
The first 3 seconds of every clip are free. Your own clips are always free.
The points you use go to Night Protocol. Creators are paid in dollars from what fans pay (see Points and Premium).
Creators can see who is watching their clips, by handle.
Watch a clip
Clips play in the Play panel. Tap Play, or let it play on its own. The top-right corner of the player shows the creator's handle in that community.
Watching uses points by the second: 1 point per second for each creator in a regular clip, 3 points per second in a premium clip. The first 3 seconds are free.
Privacy: The creator can see your handle while you watch.
Watching uses points by the second
While a clip plays, points are used each second: 1 point per second for each creator in a regular clip, 3 points per second for each creator in a premium clip.
The first 3 seconds of every clip are free, and your own clips are free. If you run out of points, the clip stops until you top up.
Player buttons
Play and Full screen sit at the top left of the player, one above the other, with Save and Saved under them. On your own clip you also see Publish, Tag, Unpublish and Delete when they apply.
Save a clip
Tap the star (Star) in the buttons at the top left of the player to keep the clip you are watching. It fills in. Tap it again to remove it. To watch your saved clips again, tap Saved at the bottom of the queue.
Keep the clips you liked so you can find them later. Watching one again uses points like any clip.
Privacy: Only you see what you saved, and the creator is not told. A saved clip stays in your list only while you can still watch it: if it is unpublished, if you go dark in its community, or if either of you blocks the other, it drops out.
Published and Saved
At the bottom of the queue, tap Published to play your own published clips, or Saved to play the clips you saved.
Full screen
Tap the full screen button on the player.
Next clip
Swipe, or tap next, to go to the next clip.
Watching in certain states
Some states require Age Verification to watch. If you are in one, you're asked when you try to watch: tap Verify in the player. Members stay visible on the map either way.
We check your state from your internet connection each time.
Your clips
You make and publish clips with the Night Protocol app on your Mac.
A clip you add stays on your computer as a Draft. It is not uploaded unless you publish it.
To publish, you need Age Verification and Premium. Every clip is reviewed before it goes Live.
A video whose file still carries the place it was filmed (iPhone videos usually do) stays In review and is not approved while the location is in the file.
If you unpublish a clip, the server copy is removed. Your file stays on your computer.
Closing or reopening the app never changes what you have published.
Photos are made smaller when you add them, and their location is removed. When you drop photos in, Photos opens on your own pin with the new ones first. You publish a photo there, and only those smaller copies are uploaded.
Add a clip
Drop a video into your Night Protocol folder on your Mac, or drag it onto the app window. It stays a Draft on your computer.
Privacy: Drafts are never uploaded.
Open your clip folder
In the Mac app, tap the folder button.
Published or Draft
Published clips are approved, and have a solid pink badge. A clip still in review says why (In review, or Needs co-creator tags) with a dashed outline. Drafts are only on your computer and show a dashed outline.
Publish a clip
In the Mac app, load your clip and tap Publish on the player. Publishing works only from the desktop app.
You need Age Verification and Premium.
Who sees it
A clip or photo you publish is for Who sees it. To keep it for some of your rosters only, tap those rosters under it: on your own clip in Play, or on your own photo in your pin's gallery. Tap Who sees it again to open it to everyone. Only people on a chosen roster can find, play or see it, and someone you take off the roster loses it at once.
Date filmed
The date filmed is read from the file automatically. You never type it. The law requires this record, and only admins see it.
Regular or premium
Every clip starts regular. Clips in the top half of the platform by seconds viewed are premium, recalculated automatically every hour; a clip that drops out of the top half goes back to regular. Premium clips use 3 points per second for each creator; regular clips use 1.
You don't pick the class. On your own clips, Premium shows in the top-right corner of the player while a clip is premium.
Review before Live
Every clip is reviewed before it goes Live. The player shows if a clip is in review, or if the people in it still need to agree.
Tag people in your clip
Load your clip, tap Tag on the player, then tap the people in it on the map. You can only tag people you can reach.
A tagged person must agree before the clip can go Live.
Unpublish
Tap Unpublish on your published clip. The server copy is removed. Your file stays on your computer.
Delete a clip
In the Mac app, tap Delete on your clip and confirm. Any server copy is removed.
Deleting, moving or renaming files
Delete a published clip's file from your folder while the Mac app is open and the clip is unpublished within about a minute. Moving or renaming it inside the folder, closing or reopening the app, signing out, or a folder the app cannot read never unpublishes anything.
Where your clips live
Your clips live on your Mac. A published clip also has a copy on our server so others can watch it. If no one else watches it for 2 days, or your Mac app is closed or its node is off for 2 days, the server copy is removed. The clip stays published. When someone taps your pin, your Mac sends it back the next time the app is open with the node on. Premium counts only seconds watched while your node is on. Photos are never removed this way: a published photo stays on the server until you unpublish it.
Show you are live from your Mac
In the Mac app, tap the node dot or the Node switch in Profile. The switch is saved to your account and stays as you left it when you close or reopen the app. While it is on and the app is open, the dot is lit.
Closing the app only pauses the connection. Your published clips stay published, and when you open the app again it reconnects on its own.
Creator pay
If you are Age Verified, Profile › Account Settings › Creator pay shows what fans' viewing earned you this month, what is pending and available, and your payouts.
70% of what each fan pays (after card fees) goes to the creators they watch. Payouts run weekly once $50 is available; they are not open yet.
Privacy: Only you see your pay. Fans appear by their handle in that community.
Schedule and Openings
Openings are your free time. Events are plans.
An Opening is a block of time when you are free. It has no guests. People who can reach you can propose a time inside it.
An event is a plan: it has a host, invites and answers.
On your Home, one tap opens you for the next 2 hours. Home and Schedule show the same Openings.
Past Openings, Requests and events drop off on their own. A Request nobody answered before its time is marked expired.
Openings and events
Openings are your free time. Events are plans. Turn on Schedule: Rosters on top, then your Openings and Events in one list by time. An event that starts inside one of your Openings sits inside that Opening. Tap + at the bottom to add an Opening. An event is made when you drop a roster on an Opening or accept a Request.
Add an Opening
Tap + under the list: you are free from the next half hour for two hours. On the row, tap the day or a time to change it, or tap the Pairing or the Length to move to the next choice. Tap ✕ to end it.
Privacy: Your Opening is never shown on the map. Others see only its time and how far away it is, as a band like 2–5 mi.
Answer a proposed time
When someone proposes a time inside your Opening, it shows right under it. Tap ✓ to book it, or ✕ to pass. Times outside your Openings sit at the bottom under Yes / No.
Plan an event
An event is made when you drop a roster on an Opening or accept a Request. It is invite only, and its name is made for you: type, time and area, for example "House party · Sat 10p · Garment District". Tap it to change the Type, a time or the Place: Drop a pin on the small map, or My pin. Choose who sees Guests going under Guest list shows to: only you, or guests who are going too; everyone else sees how many are going by role. Tap ✕ to cancel an event you host (your guests see it as cancelled) or to take an event you were invited to off your schedule. Tap any event to answer Going, Maybe or No.
Privacy: Nobody types a title, address or note: the place's name comes from the map. Guests see the area first and the place once they are going. Your own pin is used only when you tap My pin.
Invite a roster
Drag a roster onto an Opening to make a plan for exactly that time and invite them, or onto an event you host. Confirm with ✓. On a phone, tap the roster, then ✓ on the Opening or event.
Privacy: Only people you can reach get the invite. You see how many were invited, never who was skipped. Your roster name is never shown to guests.
Requests
A Request asks someone for a time to meet.
Only people who share a community with you can send you one. Block or Not interested stops them.
When you say Yes, the meeting goes on both schedules.
Request a time
Open someone's card and tap Request a time. Pick one of their Openings or a time. They answer with ✓ or ✕.
Points and Premium
Points are how you watch clips. They measure how much you watch.
You get points by buying them ($1 buys 100 points), with Premium, from bonuses, and from referrals.
Watching clips is the only thing that uses points. Looking at photos, searching, asking about someone's detail and your assistant are free.
Points never expire. No one can cash out, move or trade points, creators included.
Premium costs $8.99 a month and includes 2,500 points each paid month. It unlocks publishing, assistants and the Telegram bot.
New members get a 31-day free trial. No card is needed, and it ends without a charge.
Creator pay is in dollars. 70% of what each fan pays in a month (after card fees) goes to the creators that fan watched, split by how much the fan watched each one.
Only money a fan paid counts. Watching with free or bonus points pays creators nothing.
A fan's month is the calendar month in UTC. A payment refunded before that month closes is taken out of that fan's month before the 70% split. Any payment can be refunded in full within 14 days if nothing was watched since it; refunding Premium ends Premium at once. Points are spent highest value first: top-up points, then Premium points, then free and bonus points.
If a payment is charged back, its points are taken back (the balance can go below zero). A chargeback recorded before the month closes also takes the payment out of that fan's month, so no creator is paid from that money.
When you pay, you see the price and one line: “Fans pay to watch by the second, and 70% of what each fan pays goes to the creators they watched.”
A fan's month closes just after midnight UTC on the 1st. Each creator's share of it is worked out then and is available at once. Payouts run weekly: the first run after the close pays an available balance of $50 or more; less stays and adds up until it reaches $50. Payouts are not open yet: they start when our payout provider is connected.
Card checkout is not open yet. Until it opens, you will see “Payments open soon.”
See your points
Your Home shows your points for this month in three boxes: Burned (used watching), Balance (your balance) and Referrals. Tap a box to see the details.
Free trial
New members get 31 days of Premium free. No card is needed, and it ends without a charge.
Premium
Premium is $8.99 a month and includes 2,500 points each paid month. Find it in Profile › Account Settings › Premium.
Card checkout is not open yet. Until it opens, you will see “Payments open soon.”
Premium prompts
If you use a Premium tool without Premium, you see what Premium unlocks and how to get it. It is not an error.
Cancel Premium
Tap Cancel Premium in Profile › Account Settings › Premium. Premium stays on until the end of the month you paid for. During a free trial, cancelling keeps Premium until the trial ends; nothing is charged.
Buy points
Pick $5, $10 or $25, or type any whole dollar amount from $5 to $100. $1 buys 100 points, so $5 is 500 points.
Card checkout is not open yet.
Creator pay
Creators are paid in dollars. Each month, 70% of what each fan paid (after card fees) goes to the creators that fan watched, split by the points the fan used on each one.
Only money a fan paid counts. Payouts run weekly once you have $50 or more available, through our payout provider. They are not open yet.
Privacy: You see fans by their handle in that community. People who blocked you or marked you not interested, and people you did that to, are never named.
Your link and sharing
Your link is night-protocol.com/<your handle>. It is the one link you share.
People who are not signed in see only a way in: Join or Log in. They see nothing about you, and every link looks the same to them.
Signed-in members see you on their own map, as your settings allow: the communities you share, your roles, which details you show, and blocks.
Someone who opens your link and joins in the same browser session counts as joined through you, and lands on your pin.
When someone who joined through your link makes their first payment (Premium or points), you get 500 points, once for that person. Only people who joined through your own link count, not the people they bring in. It is always points, never money.
A private name you use in one community never appears in your link.
Old invite links with a code no longer work. They open the home page.
Your link
Your link is night-protocol.com/<your handle>. People who are not signed in see only a way in: Join or Log in. Nothing about you.
Signed-in members who open it see you on their own map, with your clips in Play, the same as tapping your pin, and only as your settings allow: the communities you share, your roles, which details you show, and blocks. Someone who opens it and joins in the same browser session counts as joined through you and lands on your pin; a later session doesn't count.
Privacy: Signed out, every link looks the same, so nobody can tell whether a handle exists. Your link never shows a private community name.
Referral points
When someone who joined through your link makes their first payment, you get 500 points.
Once per person. Only people who joined through your own link count, not the people they bring in. Always points, never money.
Your assistant
Add https://mcp.night-protocol.com/connector as a connector in Claude or ChatGPT, then talk. It does the typing; nothing reaches anyone until you say yes.
You say “I'm 6'1", athletic” — it saves your details for the role you hold.
You say “free for a drink right now” — it sets an Opening and shows matches.
You say “fans near me, online now” — it searches; you get a map link.
You say “ask them their height” — it asks. They never see who.
You say “Saturday at 9” — it proposes the time.
You say “throwing something Saturday” — it creates the event, invites your roster.
You say “not interested” — it ends reach both ways.
Anonymous ids and distance bands only; never accounts, handles or places.
Under the hood: assistant guide v2026-10-18a and 17 tools: np.context, np.surface, np.match, np.attribute_keys, np.attribute_set, np.attributes_mine, np.attributes_of, np.asks_list, np.attribute_ask, np.attribute_answer, np.openings_set, np.propose_time, np.request_answer, np.event_create, np.event_invite, np.block, np.report. Its first call is np.context: where you stand, before anything else.
MCP: a standard way to connect an AI assistant like Claude to your account.
Connector: the setting in your assistant that links it to Night Protocol.
Distance band: a range like “2–5 miles” instead of an exact distance.
Anonymous id: a stand-in code for a person, so the assistant never learns who they are.
Connect your assistant
In your assistant, add Night Protocol as a connector. Then approve it on our page.
You need Premium. The free trial counts.
Your assistant learns the rules
When you connect, your assistant reads how Night Protocol works and its rules.
Your assistant asks what you're looking for
Before it searches or sets an Opening, your assistant names the community, your role there and what you're looking for, like "As a Fan in Mass Collab Media, looking for Creators to meet for drinks". It acts after you say yes.
Stay connected
Your assistant stays connected until you disconnect it.
Disconnect an assistant
In Profile › Account Settings › Connected assistants, tap Disconnect.
Tell your assistant about you
Tell your assistant in chat. With your yes, it saves your details for a community.
Your details
Open Home: the details of the role you are acting as, shown in Your role, are under Details, as plain labels and values in your units. Switch your role in Your role to see that role's details. Your assistant can fill them in, and changes show up on their own. Tap a value to change it right there. Tap the eye to choose: shown in search, or ask first. Tap x to remove it (Undo brings it back). + Add a detail adds one.
Your details are kept for each community and for your role there.
Privacy: With the eye on, assistants can use the detail in search. With the eye off, people have to ask you first.
Find people with your assistant
Ask in plain words, like “people near me in my community”. It searches people you share a community with.
Privacy: Your assistant sees anonymous ids and distance bands, never accounts or exact places.
Answer a Request with your assistant
You say “yes to Saturday” — it answers the Request.
Open a map link from your assistant
Your assistant gives you a link to see people. It opens on your own map once you are signed in.
Privacy: Map links never sign anyone in. If someone else opens your map link, it shows them nothing.
Ask about someone's detail
Your assistant can ask about a detail someone shares only on request.
Privacy: They never learn who asked. They only see a neutral note, once at least two different people have asked about or searched on that detail in the last 30 days.
What people are looking for
Once at least two different people who look for your role in that community have searched on a detail or asked about it in the last 30 days, and you have not shared it, Details shows People are looking for: with a chip like + Weight. Tap it and fill it in. You are never told who asked.
Privacy: You never see who searched or asked, or how many.
See what your assistant did
In Profile › Account Settings › Connected assistants, tap What your assistant did: the last 30 days.
Details by community and role
The details you can add depend on the community and your role there. Each one is optional, and you choose who sees it. This list comes from the same source the app and assistants use, so it is always current.

↑ contentsTelegram
Telegram is optional: nothing on Night Protocol needs it.
Our Telegram bot is a menu for your account. Link it in Profile › Account Settings › Telegram Bot, then tap Open in the bot to manage your account in the web app.
It can also start a direct Telegram chat between two members. When you have both linked Telegram and both agree to move from your assistants to direct contact, the bot sends each of you the other's Telegram username and a link to the chat. Night Protocol isn't in that chat, and your phone number is never shared.
Open in Telegram
In our Telegram bot, tap Open to manage your account in the web app, right inside Telegram.
Night Protocol links in Telegram
A Night Protocol link in Telegram opens our bot.
Continue on Telegram with a match
If you and a match are both interested and have both linked Telegram, you can ask to move to Telegram. If they say yes, the bot sends each of you the other's Telegram username and a link to a direct chat. Night Protocol isn't in that chat.
You need Premium and a linked Telegram.
Bot commands
In your chat with our bot: /propose a time, /block or /report someone you moved to Telegram with, /points for your points, /help for what the bot does.
Your account
Your account is in Profile: turn it on in the header. Under Account Settings you find Password & email, Wallet, Premium, Handle and more. Communities and Rosters are under Main, at the bottom.
Your Profile
Turn on Profile in the header. Everything is in one column: what is left to set up, your account settings (Age Verification is one of them), then communities, rosters and Sign out. Tap a row to open it right there.
Privacy: Assistants get an anonymous id and a distance range, plus the details you share. Never your handle, account or exact place.
Finish setting up
Profile starts with Finish Onboarding until you have Age Verification, Premium and a connected assistant. Tap one to do it right there. Then the box goes away for good.
Age Verification is needed to publish clips and earn as a creator.
Account Settings
Turn on Profile. Under Account Settings, each row opens right where it is: Password & email, Wallet, Premium, Blocked, Muted, Connected assistants, Handle, Creator pay (if you are Age Verified), Tag requests (when someone tagged you), This Mac (in the Mac app), Sign out everywhere and Delete account.
Your handle
You have one main handle. Change it in Profile › Account Settings › Handle, once every 90 days.
Privacy: Your old handles stay yours. Nobody else can take them.
A private name in one community
In Profile › Account Settings › Handle you can use a different name in one community. You can change or remove it.
Privacy: It never appears in your link.
Age Verification
One government ID and a selfie, in Profile › Finish Onboarding › Age Verification. A person on our team reviews it. Once approved, you can publish and watch in any state.
Privacy: We keep these records for as long as the law requires.
Units
In Profile › Account Settings › Units, pick Imperial (ft, lb) or Metric (cm, kg). Your details read back in those units everywhere, also to your assistant.
Rosters
Rosters are your own lists of people. Find them in Profile › Main › Rosters and in a row at the top of Schedule.
Create a roster
In your rosters, tap Create and type a name.
Add someone to a roster
Tap someone's pin on the Map, or play one of their clips. Add to a roster shows in the header: tap it, then tap a roster to add them. Tap that roster again to take them off.
Who invited you
If you joined through a member's link, that member is put on a roster called "Invited me". You find it in Profile › Main › Rosters and in Schedule. You can rename it, remove them, or delete it.
So you can find the person who brought you in.
Privacy: Only you see your rosters, and nobody is told. They are added only once you share a community, and never if either of you blocked the other or said not interested.
Manage your rosters
In Profile › Main › Rosters, create a roster, rename it, remove people, or delete it.
Delete your account
In Profile › Account Settings › Delete account, type to confirm, then tap Delete.
Privacy
Members never see your account id.
Assistants see anonymous ids and distance bands. They never see your account or your exact location.
If someone asks about you, they stay invisible. You only see a neutral note, and only once at least two different people have asked about or searched on that detail in the last 30 days.
Map links never sign anyone in. If someone else opens your map link, it shows them nothing.
Members on the map may see the exact spot of your pin. You can hide your pin at any time.
Your Openings are never shown on the map. Others see only their times and how far away they are, as a band like 2–5 mi.
Creators can see who is watching their clips, by handle.
Clips you have not published stay on your computer. Unpublishing removes the server copy.
Your link is night-protocol.com/<your handle>. A private name you use in one community never appears in it.
Age Verification is one government ID and a selfie, reviewed by a person on our team. You need it to publish, or to watch in certain states.
You decide who can see each of your details, with the eye next to each one under Profile › Main › Communities › Details.
The full Privacy policy is at night-protocol.com/privacy.
↑ contentsSecurity
Your account uses your email and a password. We confirm your email with a code when you join.
Map links never sign anyone in, so a forwarded link can't open your account.
Assistants connect only after you approve them. You can disconnect them at any time.
The site uses HTTPS: an encrypted connection between your device and us.
Found a security problem? Email security@night-protocol.com.
Change your password
In Profile › Account Settings › Password & email, type your current and new password.
Sign out
Profile › Sign out (the last row) signs you out on this device.
Sign out everywhere
Profile › Account Settings › Sign out everywhere signs you out on every device.
Safety: block, not interested, report
You can only reach people you share a community with.
Not interested and Block both end contact both ways. Neither of you can find or contact the other again. The other person is not told.
You can report a person, a clip, a message thread or a problem. Reports go to our team.
Not interested
Tap Not interested on a person, a Request or an invite. You can undo it right away. Mute on the Person card only hides them from you; undo it under Profile › Account Settings › Muted.
Privacy: Not interested: neither of you can find or contact the other again. Mute: only you stop seeing them, and nothing changes for them. They are not told either way.
Block
On a person's card, tap Block and confirm.
Privacy: It ends contact both ways. They are not told.
Report
On a person's card (Person card), tap Report, pick a reason and, if you like, one of its details. There is nothing to type. Our team reviews every report and the person is not told who reported them.
